Not only packagers can go though NM. It is a measure of
commitment to the ideals and foundation documents of the
project, as much as it is a test of skills and patience.

Users do not get a say in deciding how I spend my free time,
no. They can let me know what they wish (that is what wishlist bugs
are for, no?), and I pay attention to what they want, and what is good
for them, but I do not ask "how high?" when users say "Jump!"
